Southaven, MS Restaurants: Where to Eat, Verified

Southaven restaurants used to mean a drive down Goodman Road past the chains. Then Silo Square filled in around its bell tower, and now the Getwell corridor between the state line and Snowden Grove has a real dinner scene: barbecue, blue plates, a wine bar, a steakhouse or two, and a pancake line on Saturday morning.

So here's the list we'd hand a friend: 25 local spots in Southaven, plus one worth knowing next door, each checked at its own website in October 2026, with hours wherever the restaurant publishes them. Chains are out unless they're homegrown in Memphis or Mississippi. Making a day of it? Our things to do in Southaven guide has the concerts, parks and shopping. — Josh

What changed, so you don't drive to a dark window

Belly Acres has closed its Memphis-side rooms, so Silo Square is now its only metro location. Mesquite Chop House is Southaven-only as well. The Grillehouse on Getwell is gone; Ember & Oak Prime opened in its space in 2024. Brown Baguette Bakery Cafe has closed, and a dessert bar was reported in July 2026 to be taking over its storefront.

A few names that turn up in older Southaven lists aren't on this one because we couldn't confirm they're open today: Elfo Grisanti's on Getwell and the Sidecar Cafe on Venture Drive (its Memphis location closed in June 2025). If either confirms, it goes back on the list. Every restaurant above was checked at its own site in October 2026.
